Hi Kirk, Yes, I did talk to Rob. He was the one that directed me to the QPDF Draw Text command and the embedded possibilities. I was thinking the same as you—that it should be possible, but a lot of code. That’s why I was asking if anyone had already tackled it. I’d be willing to trade some code with anyone who had done this.
